NHL Hate Map Shows West Virginia is Pittsburgh Jr.

Like the other sports before it, the NHL now has its own Reddit Hate Map, showing which team hockey fans in each state hate the most. Pennsylvania and California are the only places that hate (one of) their hometown teams.
Though Pennsylvanians’ votes were also tallied against the Oilers, Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Canadiens, Devils, Islanders, Rangers, Blues, Canucks, and Capitals, the final vote totals showed that the Flyers fans who hate Pittsburgh just barely outnumbered the Penguins fans who hate Philadelphia.
Virginia once again agrees, this time bringing Maryland, Ohio, and the Carolinas along. Pens fans carried-over into and stole West Virginia, placing the Flyers in their sole hate-spot on the map. We’re fine with that, because they are still in West Virginia.
